January: Ukrainian candy store near my old office in Chicago.

Last year I joined many other photographers in an annual challenge to take 365 photographs, one each day of the year. I lasted until September when a combination of moving and starting gradute school got the better of me. Even though I didn't reach the goal I set out for myself, I did learn a lot through the sheer volume of the project, and I think my photography has improved ever so slightly. Here is one photograph from each month in 2010.

February: Valentine's Day.

March: In San Francisco's Delores Park with old friends.

April: My mother's peach bellini on Easter.

May: The old theater in Logan Square.

June: Caprese salad.

July: Summer vacation at the boathouse in Waupaca.

August: Hiking in Glacier National Park with my father.

September: My new apartment in Champaign.

October: Market squash prepared for roasting.

November: Barges on the Illinois River near Starved Rock.

December: Nick opening gifts on Christmas morning.
